There was and is a major problem also with their in house oil they use when doing oil changes on gas engines. Japanese cars like my son in laws are burning oil now at much lower overall milage than expected. It is the only place he has gotten oil changes done. All at the right scheduled milage interval as recommended by the manufacturer.

Labels lie, or more accurately, mislead.
This is precisely the reason I change my own oil in both my cars.
1) I see the mobile one come from the bottle into my engine (premium dinosaurs in the case of the MB)
2) I know its done right, no loose (or not replaced at all) filters, drain plugs.
I dont care to wait 30 minutes for some greasy dude at a lube shop to drive my car around (mess inside the cabin), get oily handprints on the car and then charge me the same price as I pay to do it myself.
